Corker outed

On buying his way out of the Wal-Mart/wetlands lawsuit.
Here's the deal he was trying to hush up until after the election. Chattanooga TV news evidently does real reporting. Imagine that!

Somehow I don't believe it,

Somehow I don't believe it, because you'd rather live in your "Republicans as lily-white, unassailable foot washers of average Tennesseans" fantasyland.

Hm. Wonder why the TEC folks didn't come clean about it? As I look at their board of directors, it doesn't seem like a who's-who of Republican supporters.

I suspect it is simply due

I suspect it is simply due to the terms of settlement. Common, unfortunately, but I have to say that is a fairly large amount of money.

In a greater sense, we have to wonder if a man like Corker must be sued in order to get him to do what's right...Why should we let him have the public trust?

Yep, the terms Corker's

Yep, the terms Corker's lawyer dictated when he (probably) way overpaid for the property. I doubt the Conservation or church people asked for the gag order. He just had them over a financial barrel.

Ain't it amazing what money can buy.
